Has anyone used a electric (reciprocating) power saw with the saw
blade that is about 10 inches long for cutting back leyllandi hedges,
if so are they easy to use and do they do a good job. I am 70 years
old and i am trying to avoid using a bow saw because of aching joints
after using one. If they are any good, which one would you recommend.

Thanks Alan

They do an excellent job on newish growth but not so good on the thicker
"stuff". If you already have trimmed down to a good height then an annual
pruning of the new growth should not present a problem at all........HW
